Ingredients

• 4 pieces thick bread slices (brioche or challah recommended)
• 1 piece ripe banana, sliced
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups milk (whole or 2%)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cups maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Place the banana slices on one slice of bread, spreading them evenly across the surface. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining slices of bread and banana.

Step 3

Carefully dip each banana-filled sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides thoroughly. Allow excess liquid to drip off before cooking.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted and slightly foamy, place one or two sandwiches (depending on skillet size) into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the Greeneyes Banana French Toast to plates. Optionally sprinkle sugar and powdered sugar on top, and drizzle with maple syrup to taste.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy this indulgent breakfast classic!
